taught by our visiting authority Elder Alain Allard,our Stake
President,President Connor and many others. Many recent converts shared their
sweet and powerful witness of the Savior.
Great unity and love was felt.
Great unity and love was felt.
We shared with the stake our vision and goals for the stake. They
are as follows;
Focus on the One.
1. Read the Book of Mormon once this year and
share it with one non-member or less active friend.
2. Increase our faith in Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ by
consistent weekly Sabbath Day Observance and bring one less
active member or non-member to Church with us.
3. Find at least one family name to take to the
temple ... and teach one other person to do the same.
We ask that everyone prayerfully act to bring these divinely
inspired goals to pass.
We will be blessed individually and collectively with added
strength against temptation and evil and have the divine reassurance we are
pleasing our Heavenly Father.
We pray for you and love you. This is the Lord's work. It is His
stake. May we continue to work together with one heart and one mind.

Discipleship Is Our Journey
In
October’s General Conference President Uchtdorf shared that “Exaltation is our
Goal. Discipleship is our journey.” This is a profound statement! I love this statement. We have been told before that we are on a
journey, traveling through mortality.
However, some of us forget that our eternal journey has already begun. It does not begin when we die. We lived before we came to the earth so our
eternity is already in progress. On this
journey, we continue to work towards our final destination which is the
Celestial Kingdom (Exaltation).
President Uchtdorf shared that in
order to achieve our goal, we must be the Lord’s disciples on our journey. The Webster’s dictionary defines a disciple
as, “one who accepts and assists in spreading the doctrines…” It is important for us to remember that we are
on our eternal journey, daughters of a loving Father. He continually is cheering us on, providing
us with the things we need to finish our journey back to Him. It is important for us, as we journey here to
remember our divine heritage with our eyes continually fixed on the goal,
exaltation. Sister Wixom stated, “I
promise that as you seek to discover the depth of the divine nature that lies
within you, you will begin to further magnify your precious gift. Let it guide you to become His daughter,
walking the path back to Him…”
As we progress on our journey as disciples,
divine daughters of our Father, may we always be mindful of the unconditional
love of Him who sent us here to be successful in our journey. President Uchtdorf stated, “As you exercise
a little faith and begin our walk as a peaceable follower of our Lord Jesus
Christ, your heart will change. Your
whole being will be filled with light.
God will help you become something greater than you ever thought
possible.” It is our prayer that as this
new year begins that we as sisters remember how precious we are to our Heavenly
Father and will continue on the path of Discipleship with greater love for Him
who sent us and for all those around us!

But our member and non member
boys have been very active in Order of the Arrow in serving all area scouts.
The welcomed addition to our troop of active non member scouts has strengthened
our troop and helped all of the boys to grow I am very pleased with their
efforts.
“The Order of the Arrow (OA)
is most commonly known as the National Honor Society of the Boy
Scouts of America (BSA).
A more clear definition would be that the society was created to honor scouts
that best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law. It uses American
Indian-styled
traditions and ceremonies to bestow recognition on Scouts selected by their
peers as best exemplifying the ideals of Scouting. The society was created
by E.
Urner Goodman,
with the assistance of Carroll A. Edson, in 1915 as a means of
reinforcing the Scout Oath and the Scout Law. The goal was to establish these
as lifelong guidelines, and to encourage continued participation in Scouting
and camping. Influenced in part by camp traditions, and Indian folklore, the OA
uses "safeguarded" symbols, handshakes, and ceremonies to impart a
sense of community.
Inducted members, known as Arrowmen or Brothers,
are organized into local youth-led lodges that harbor fellowship, promote
camping, and render service to Boy Scout councils and their communities.
Members wear identifying insignia on their uniforms, most notably the OA pocket
flap (representing their individual lodge) and the OA sash (worn at official OA
functions) and are eligible for special OA awards. The OA program sponsors
several events, awards, and training functions.” ~Wikipedia
